Is it possible to change the fonts on my Moto G with the fonts from this thread.
I have tried but when I go into recovery I'm unable to browse for the zip file.
The phone is rooted and CWM installed (not sure Which one)
Edited to add tried moving the zip file to the root of my phone with es file explorer but it fails.
Download the font zip file and paste it in the SD card.. Not in any folder... And flash it. I'm using custom font only. It's working

Thanks for your reply, I managed to do it with adb sideloader.
Thanks again

Anyone know of a way to change the system font yet? Can you use update.zip after rooting and installing CW recovery?

Make a backup in CW Recovery before you do anything.
You can try someones font zip file but it has to be made for the new CW recovery
You can also do this
Get the fonts from the zip file you want they end with *.ttf
In the directory where you have ADB make a folder named fonts and put all the *.ttf there that you are copying over
Reboot to CW Recovery
Then open a command prompt from that directory and at the prompt enter the command
adb push fonts /system/fonts/
adb reboot
Thanks for the reply. I tried to copy and paste with root explorer, but got hung on the "thunderstorm screen" on reboot. Doing a restore now, then I'll try to adb push it.
update.zip failed.
adb pushed each .ttf file separately and it worked, thank you.

You dont have to push each one separately.
Extract them to a folder in the directory where adb is and call it fonts
c:\adb\tools\fonts\
then do
adb push fonts /system/fonts/
it will push the whole directory and you don't have to enter each file name.

Look for font changer in the market... (free)
Create a folder on your sd card (i called mine htcfonts)
Look in xda for some fonts and extract them to your new folder
(suggest u rename them like zegoe.ttf, zegoe-bold.ttf)
Open the font changer app.
Mine got stuck on reboot - needed battery pull
enjoy!
There's also a custom font switcher on the market with a built in don't catalog that will download the font and install it in one or two clicks

I have frozen my Droid X using Font Changer and had to re-flash the ROM. There is an approach that works on the EROS, see thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801160 where they flash the fonts. I don't know if this works on the DROID X in Gingerbread or not. I don't want to have to flash again, so would like to find a method that has worked for others.
Hi,
Can anyone help me changing the boot animation of subject ROM, I have already downloaded the zip file but unable to flash it by any mean
Regards,
Shoby
Try with a file manager with root permissions (such as root explorer) to move the bootanimation.zip file at /system/media and after that set permissions to rw-r--r--r
Reboot and the bootanimation should be the one you selected.

will astro file manager work?
I don't know but I can't make it with Astro. Try with the File expert. Firstly you have to enable root explorer from the settings menu.

One question. Which CyberGR bootanimation you are using?

the easiest way is to get the file from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1159311
then flash directly with Rom manager( just select the check option: wipe dalvik cache) and you're donw - Nexus s sotck boot animation.
cheers
Hit Thankx button
just put in your bootanimation.zip in this zip file /system/media
and then flash it via recovery

you are using root file managers, like Root Explorer?
In Root Explorer you can check permissions for your sdcard to se if you have r/w access to it. If the card is mounted as read only you
will have trouble copying anything into it.
Also note that using root file managers and have full usage of them also requires that your device itself actually is rooted.

fml.:banghead: you should always make a nandroid backup using your custom recovery before messing with system files.
do you know what recovery you have?
what version is your hboot?
when you say nothing what do you mean?
completely empty homescreens not even the app drawer?
Could he push the backup of the build prop via adb?

Yeah, original build.prop file from the original ROM
Download your rom zip, extract the build.prop. Put it on the root of your sd card. Download aroma file manager and put it on your sd card. Go in recovery, install aroma file manager, find your build.prop in system and delete it. Navigate to the sd card and find your build.prop you downloaded, and paste it where the build.prop file was deleted. Usually it's in the system directory
Kind Regards

Every day i learn something new.Thanks man!
dw ive sorted it ...i flashed the rom again n it is there
Today I am sharing how to make cwm flashable zips for like flashing an app, a framework file a bootanimation or anything
You will need a Blank CWM zip
Download from here
http://d-h.st/XCG
Thanks @dev_host
And you will need a nice file manager
I recommend ES file explorer or Root browser
Now after downloading zip
Let think you want to flash an app
Then
1) Extract cwm zip that you downloaded above
2) Dont make any changes to Meta-Inf folder but make another folder System and then in system folder make a folder App ( as you know system apps are placed inside system>app then you have to make same path)
3) place an app into app folder which you want to flash and then archieve the two folders i.e. MetaInf and system into .zip format, compression level - Normal
And its ready now you can flash it by cwm uou can also do it by pc as using 7zip or winrar.
Now if you want to flash and framework then instead of making system >app folders make system>framework similarly if you want to flash any bootanimation
make folder System>media
Now I think you understand what you have to do
Feel free to contact if you have any queries
